Elliot Engel, senior member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, emphasize the only way to success in an agreement with Iran is the US government’s cooperation with the Congress and the consent of both sides.
My colleagues and I from both sides of the aisle strongly feel Congress must be involved in this issue and be in agreement on this matter, he said in an interview with al-Monitor.
House members sent a clear message based on the fact that until Iran tells the truth about the military dimension of its nuclear program Congress will not move an inch on the sanctions, al-Monitor wrote in reference to a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
Al-Monitor added the main concern of Congress members is Iran’s refusal to allow access to its Parchin military site.
